The Prophesy of Invention

Prophesy of Invention Compositions of profound illumination resonating from a prophetic musician Impositions that compound remuneration as the economists of capitalism demand an inquisition A tired physician’s diagnosis that confounds all surgical precision A technician becomes ferocious as he compounds the alternative decision A silent peaceful protest at the murder of another beautiful black street poet The tyrant who was voted as the leader of those who don’t know it King Trident of the ocean rebukes pollution that we throw into it The vibrant unquestionable devotion of those whose graves we’re inclined to visit The enduring nature of a statement for the human rights of the underprivileged poor The alluring stature of the enhancement of those who constantly seek to obtain more The reassuring amateur statesman who speaks about the truth on the parliamentary floor The enduring parameters of a great man who sees through what others choose to ignore The quiet internal vision of an introvert contemplating life The violet eternal collision of science and religion and what’s right The pilot in charge of his own volition as he flies our lives out into the night The harlot beyond our inquisition as she chooses her own body to ignite Decisions to choose wisdom over instantaneous gratification Incisions that envision contemporaneous over-saturation Provisions that aren’t given to poverty’s spontaneous needful configurations A vision that requires the precision of sub-cutaneous deliberations My intuition is rarely given the permission to apply itself without indecision As ammunition is purchased without omission underneath the surface of societial conditions While those who take time to actually listen aren’t allowed to govern or express their own renditions As the star constellations glisten more profound than human premonition The easily influenced gather around the next social media feed The visible affluence of the latter resound with an incompatible greed As what’s permissible, like the Mad Hatter, feeds off controversy and need While the invisible ethics of those who matter are at the ignored base of what the internet tries to heed We worship egocentric views and hedonistic celebrity lifestyles While another starship filled with empty clues takes of toward the making of another empire As the eccentric muse of the simplistic hues give birth to a consumerist type vampire The bio centric ruse of the scientific news gets dissected around a camp fire We reach toward the subtleties of complex emotional expression As we teach the fundamentalities of the context of devotional confession I shall beseech the congenialities of society without my inclination for condescension As I reach toward the originalities of the prophetic voices of new invention The End Copywright Elizabeth Moroz 2023

Hi Tom, Im not suggesting I am prophetic and agree with you very much on the nonsensical weight we attribute to celebrity culture. (On prophecy though, some of the predictions in my poetry have actually come true over the years- I would never presume to call myself a prophet. Call it what you will, it's just an interesting tid bit about my poetry shared between friends. Thanks for your interesting commentary on my poetry-you are one of my only commenters so I deeply appreciate you!! Elizabeth

" we worship egocentric views and hedonistic celebrity lifestyles..." It doesn't make sense does it? I have never idolized anyone or anything. Of course, this is just one of your many poetic points. Some say Roddenberry was a technology prophet of sorts. I say he was insightful, not prophetic
